A/N: It's come to my attention that I haven't done a disclaimer for any of my previous chapters so here it is:
I don't own any part of Phineas and Ferb not these characters, where the story is set or anything else, just the idea.
"Morning Mom!" Isabella called as she came downstairs with Pinky in tow.
"Ahh, good morning Isa!" Vivan replied hugging her daughter good morning. "What are you going to today?"
"Well, Adyson and I are going to spend the day with some girl from Lil' Sparks," Isabella explained as she sat at the table. "And Katie, Gretchen and I have a dance recital today at four and then-"
"Is the recital today?" Vivan cried, holding her hand to heart. "Oh Isa, I'm so sorry I can't make it!"
"That's alright, Mom," Isabella said hurriedly. "Whatcha doin?"
"The Free-Form Jazz Band are playing at an event Mayer Doofenshmirtz is holding." She sighed and studied her daughter seriously. "You've picked up so many new activities these past few weeks, I find it hard to keep track."
Since she had stopped seeing Phineas, Isabella had had a lot more free time and she had decided to use that free time to start doing new things. Dance was just one of many including debate camp, hockey, soccer and she'd even applied for an internship at city hall. Without Phineas in her life she was able to think about herself and do things that she'd dreamed of doing but decided against for fear of being overwhelmed.
"It's fine, Mom." Isabella thought for a second. "Maybe the Fireside Girls can hand out refreshments at the event?"
"I'm sure the mayor would appreciate the extra hands."
"And it would look good for my internship application."
"You're growing up into such a responsible young lady," Vivian said warmly. "I'm so proud of you, Isabella."
She blushed slightly. "Thanks, Mom... I should probably get going. Adyson and I are meeting the Lil' Sparks kids in twenty minutes."
"I'll see you at City Hall!"
"Ok, Mom, I'll see you then!" Isabella finished her breakfast and headed out of the door. As she stepped outside, she paused and looked around. "Hey where's Pinky?"

"The band is playing at the Mayor's event this afternoon and we're practising most of the day." Linda looked around the table. "Do you boys need anything before I go?"
"We're good thanks, Mom."
"What about you Candace?"
"Are you going to be at Jeremy's house?"
"Yes, yes I am."
"Can I come too?"
"I don't see why not. I'll be leaving in a few minutes." Linda stood up and went to get her guitar. Candance glared at her brothers.
"And what monstrosity are you two planning on building today?"
"Well, Baljeet and Buford are coming over and we're going to build some drones. We're not sue if we want to make a lightshow or virtual reality simulator though."
"Well it won't matter when I get Mom to bust you!"
"Candace, let's go!"
"Do me a favour and hurry up with your deciding. The sooner I can bust you, the sooner I can spend the day with Jeremy!" She laughed manically then ran out into the hallway.
